Media double standard alert: if I said that Islam was stuck in the Middle Ages, it would be more evidence of my inveterate “Islamophobia.” But when Hans Küng says it, it gets written up favorably in the Times, because Hans Küng holds the Correct Opinions about what must be done about Islam (it’s all up […]
Filipinos are ‘too soft to become suicide bombers’
If only everyone were so soft.

No “Hunting Terrorists” at Bucknell
Evan Coyne Maloney details more misadventures of the acadhimmic establishment at Brain-Terminal.com via FrontPage: Two words. At Bucknell University, that’s all it takes to get dragged into the President’s Office for a half-hour discussion of word choice. And these aren’t offensive words, at least not out here in the real world. But Bucknell apparently has […]
NJ Acting Governor acts to head off “religious profiling”
This is all very high-minded, of course, but Codey is acting at the behest of CAIR, which has never addressed its own problematic issues regarding jihad and Sharia.
